People tell me all the time that they want to work for a large company. Generally, they believe that there is stability working for such a firm that doesn’t exist in a start-up or small company.
It’s all propaganda.
Yes, in the last recession, small companies went out of business. But large companies fired hundreds of thousands of workers, including over 400000 in technology in a two year period. Does this sound like stability to you?
Read the reports from The US Labor Department.
90% of all job creation is going on in smaller businesses.
Why are you only investigating large companies when the greatest opportunity to find work is with small companies?
